A modest Newbie PIF

[prbutterfield]

I was a wet shaver when I was in my twenties and have recently returned enthusiastically with a lot of help reading through the Badger & Blade forums. I love the concept of the PIF and even though I am new and don't know anyone I'd like to participate. I was fortunate to have a high quality badger brush given to me by my parents when I was learning to wet-shave years ago and so I want someone else who is just starting out to have the same benefit.

The main item is a Caswell Massey badger brush in great shape. The other side of the handle has the CM logo. Of course they didn't make it but I don't know the actual maker. It was made in England. It's been a good brush but I've several others that keep me occupied.

I'll also include a Col. Conk almond glycerin soap that came with a lather bowl. I opened it and used once so it is essentially new and a Gillette after shave gel that is about 1/2 full. I will ship to CONUS only.

To qualify for this PIF please be new to wet-shaving, have under 100 posts and this is your first badger brush. If interested please post here and I'll pick someone randomly on Friday, July 20th.

Definitely interested I am currently on the hunt for my first Straight (and everything else from soap to mug to brush to strop). This is very kind of you to do, and if there were more people like you in this world we could all live in peace. Even if I don't win, I thank you for helping us newbies out.

Cheers!
